Danube Wrecks

Due to the unseasonably hot weather Europe has been
facing over the summer months, the Danube has fallen to its
lowest level for over 120 years. This is normally bad news
as it prevents the usual convoys of ships – tugs
barges pulling barges from travelling between the Black Sea
and the rest of Euope. However, in one stretch of the
river, between Serbia and Romania, this has revealed the
most amazing find: wrecks from the second World War of
German warships, once Hitler’s Danube Fleet.
